TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL (Hydrostatic Models)
Check hydrostatic level using the following proce­
dure:
1. Place tractor on a level surface.
2. Raise the rear deck and remove the oil filler cap
shown in Figure 5.

3. Check oil level. The expansion reservoir should
be

full at ambient temperature. If required, add type
A transmission fluid UNTIL THE RESERVOIR IS

DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEVEL (Hydrostatic Models)
Check the differential oil level on hydrostatic trac­
tors using the following procedure:
1. Place tractor on a level surface.
2. Remove the oil level and filler plug from the
rear of the transmission, Figure 6.
3. Oil should reach the level and filler plug hole.
If it does not, add Ariens Premium Gear Lube MP-90
(SAE 90-EP) until the proper level is reached.

FILL FUEL TANK
Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular grade gaso­
line. Do not use premium gasoline.
ADJUST TIRE PRESSURE
Tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes.
Correct tire pressures are essential for proper handling
or attachment performance. Adjust tire pressures as
shown in the chart. Use a low pressure gauge for
accurate readings.
If oil cannot be seen in the expansion reservoir, it
will be necessary to fill the reservoir to the proper level
and bleed (remove air) from the transmission. See
Owner's Manual for this procedure.
